Prize Money: $610

NANS LARK (2) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest at this track in 30.15. Has the ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. JACKTAVERN TIGER (3) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 29.84 beating She Our Sinead. Significant danger. SLANEYSIDE ETHAN (1) quickly into stride to win over the 480m at this track two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at this track last start. Expected to feature again. RASTAFARI RORY (6) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 0.7 lengths third (29.88) over 480m at this track last time. Capable of playing a big role.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 480m (30.15). Can continue the solid form.

Comments

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 480m at this track. Before that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (29.28) beating Slaneyside Bud in an A5 on March 26. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
